How Jürgen Klopp became The Best

De: Leandro Burgos

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Jürgen Klopp transmits football with a high degree of intensity and passion. He does it the way he sees this sport, both on and off the pitch. He lives it at a 100% and he asks for his players to also live it like that.

One of his most recognizable sayings is that in which he calls the possession game an “orchestra” but with a silent tune, and he always reminds us that he prefers the Heavy Metal. A definition that could perfectly be applied to his teams.

This book is a look into this career so far and into Klopp himself and how he evolved to become a coach with an unmistakable identity. Since his beginnings as a footballer at Mainz, through the yellow machine he built at Borussia Dortmund to the peak of his success at Liverpool.

Through interviews, analysis, stats and curious facts, in Heavy Metal we see the makings of an exceptional leader who knew how to develop until he became The Best manager in the world.
